Do you want to see my brass etchings????

When I was young this phrase was always the epitomey of the worst chat up line ever. However in my case and with respect to my post here on the blog is actually very true so here they are!

One is missing from the fret but I have actually fitted that. I just coated the plastic surface it needed to rest on with some plastic cement and then just laid the etch over where it needed to fit and pressed gently into the now tacky plastic surface. It seems to have worked! Still need to do the other five parts though!

Most of the other small parts that I talked about yesterday have now been fitted but required some more venturing onto the floor to find escaping parts! I have also mounted the mortar barrel which really does add to the monstrous nature of this vehicle. It can elevate and in its travelling horizontal position it has a rather neat cap that covered the opening.

There are still a few more parts to fit or build ready for the painting stage which may not be too far off now. Hopefully next time you will see more of my brass eychings!
